This, and your statement... I need to find a better, more direct vehicle. Salvation Army is our number one. More then 90% to the intended .I’ll mention, Dad claimed they saved his life in Korea. Years in Valley Forge MH, they were there for him.. So, SA is always our No. 1....
“I believe that the Salvation Army has the highest pass through on donations.”
World Vision used to be in the 90% range. I don’t know if that is still the case
What’s Hillary at 10-15%
[The Salvation Army has the highest pass through on donations]
I believe they give 90% to their missions.
I eventually found the Michigan Lupus foundation (or something like that) and contacted them several times via email asking for information and never received it.
After further investigation, I discovered that the gal who heads the foundation receives $45,000 per year from the govt. and she also sits on the board of another "non profit" organization.......
Other than holding the occasional races for Lupus to raise funds for the organization, there is no information where those funds go to........
Those who are against WWP are anti-capitalists. WWP is a private entity that can do whatever it likes with its OWN money. /s
One of the very best charities is Dr. Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse, which uses 89% to help the needy, while spending only 11% for overhead. That is an excellent record.

According to the stuff I have seen, Salvation Army’s index is 84, which, while not bad at all, is nowhere close to being the best. Feeding America, for example, is 97.

You missed the /S tag!
There are veteran charities (and others) with a lot higher ratings than the Wounder Warriors. Their rating is too low to get any of my money.
I agree. The Salvation Army is on our list every year.
There are too many of these national charities that spend a big part of donations on fat salaries for executives, lavish conferences and a lot of junk that does nothing to help those they claim to help. The Red Cross and United Way are good examples I can think of. I have to give credit to the Salvation Army. They help in many ways and do not seek any publicity or pay their staff big salaries. During the 1993 floods in Iowa, I witnessed the Salvation Army busy giving out hot meals, helping clean up and never wasting time with press conferences like the Red Cross.
